Or bronze and some serious silver soldering?
I am not set-up for silver soldering, but could be. But then I don't
have great chunks of unmachined bronze. Surely this can be done in cast
iron and bolted together with gaskets ?
There are a number of published designs accompanied by building
commentaries that do not use castings. Some are quite 'chunky, like Ross
Harrison's Lilla has which has 1 1/2" bore cylinders. The real
'no-castings' master is Kozo Hiraoka whose step-by-step construction
series are masterpieces (3 1/2" gauge Climax, Shay, et al).
So, if I want to find his way of making a valve chest and cylinder then
where do I look ? Is this published in Model Engineering magazine ?
